TRUNK.

Original application filed January 3, 1924, Serial No. 684 220. Dividedand this application filed May 21, w 1926. Serial No. 110,749;

the form of a so-called'steamer trunk, and the object of my improvementis to form a compartment for golf clubs ,and the like, Whichare ofgreater length than the ordidiagonally disposed compartment extendmgfrom diametrically opposed corners of the trunk.

In the accompanying drawings:

Fig. 1 is a view in perspective; and

Fig. 2 isa plan view.

The trunk consists of a bottom section 1 and a top section 2, preferablyhinged together, thelatter serving as a level cover for the trunk.

The numeral 3 designates a diagonally disposed compartment built in thebottom of the trunk and extending diametrically from corner to corner.WVhile this might be located at any level in the trunk, it is preferablyinthe lower part of the bottom,,below the removable tray 4, so that whenthe tray is in place, it closes the top of the compartment 3 as well asthe lower porti-on'of the trunk.

Many other advantagesfmight be mentioned. In the first place, in anordinary trunk this affords just the required length trunk as built atpresent long enough for,

this purpose. thisinvention, it is possible to lltlllZG diagonal spaceWithout making the trunk solong that it exceeds the 40 length permittedunder railroad regulations. The invention is a result of aneffort on mypart to discover some'sort of safe and convenient means for carryinggolf clubs,

they being a'nuisance when carried by hand in a Pullman and liableto-breakage. ,Wh le there are golf trunks,'th.ey are of such a size thatit means excess baggage.

Every time they travel by rail, they have a penalty for over-length andthe extra expense .50 soon exceeds the cost of the trunks in many longtrips. But of still more consequence however isthe delay incident tothis means oftransportation.

The present invention, obviates and overcomes these difficulties in avery simple and practical way without an excess of weight and dimensionsand enabling the sportsman to have the trunk or trunkscarrying his golfclubs with him.

I' claim: I a A trunk having bottom and top sections hinged together,said bottom section having a diagonal compartment arranged there--across and extending part way. only ofthe depth of said bottom section,and a removable till fitted into said bottom section over thediag0nalcompartme'nt to form a closure therefor. a 1

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
